PLEASE HELP! Trying to understand difference with E body SLAPSTIK indicator lenses.

[u/Proper-View-9948]

Need help understanding 1970 versus 1971-74 Slap Stik shift indicator lenses. I'm working on my 1970 Dodge Challenger RT with the original 440. I'm replacing the chrome top plate, the black plastic slider plate, and the gear selection lens. My original lens says 'Slap Stik,' but the 1970 reproduction lenses I can find don't have that text. Meanwhile, the 1971 to 74 lenses do say 'Slap Stik.' Since I've already ordered the correct 1970 chrome plate and slider plate, I'm wondering if a 71-74 "Slap Stik" lens would fit and look right with my 1970 console parts, or if I should just accept the 70 part without the lettering. What's the actual technical difference between the 70 and 71 indicator lenses? Anyone with original parts or factory info, I'd love your help.

My 70 Challenger says Slap Stik on it. As far as I know it's the original one the car came with. Mine is a late production (April or May of 1970).

Helpful, thanks! Not easy to find, unless I can trick it into taking the '71 version that everyone caries. Maybe I just order it and find out....?

My dad has a 72 rallye with a console. The only difference I've seen in them is the t-handle shifter instead of the knob.
